R. Tzvi Meir HaKohen Rabinowitz (1840-1902), second son of the Tiferet Shlomo of Radomsk and his successor as rabbi of Radomsk. A diligent Torah scholar, he was very well versed both in revealed and hidden realms of the Torah. His father once remarked about him in his youth: "My son Hirshele is a bookcase". He studied the writings of the Arizal every day before sunrise, with exceptional enthusiasm. Reputedly, "his associates saw wondrous incidents related to him, which cannot all be recorded, and he was a true fulfilment of the saying 'A Tzaddik decrees and G-d fulfills'… and we saw a wondrous occurrence at the time of his passing… the sun darkened and a storm raged, uprooting many trees" (Ohel Shlomo).
His son, R. Yitzchak Mordechai HaKohen Rabinowitz, Rabbi of Plavno (Pławno), author of Ohel Shlomo (Piotrkow, 1924) – accounts and Torah thoughts from his grandfather the Tiferet Shlomo.
